Pemamek Ltd (a global provider of welding and production automation equipment and HGG Profiling Equipment BV (a market leader in developing and supplying 3-D pipe and profile-cutting machines) have extended their strategic partnership to shipyard solutions.

As a result, both companies can now supply integrated cutting and welding technology — including profile processing lines, pipe-cutting lines and T-beam manufacturing lines — for ‘ship part’ fabrication.

Pemamek CEO Jaakko Heikonen said (www.pemamek.com): “HGG has unique expertise in developing automated profile-cutting solutions, and through our collaboration, Pemamek’s shipbuilding customers will be able to benefit from it.

We now have even better capability to provide extensive profile shop solutions to increase our shipyard customers’ production.”

The HGG and Pemamek shipyard partnership has already delivered benefits.

A recent solution from Pemamek included advanced PEMA-HGG cutting and welding integration, which resulted in the most advanced automated lines available for MV Werften’s Rostock and Wismar shipyards.

Wiebe Wiersma, HGG global sales manager, said: “Pemamek is a market leader in welding automation, while HGG is leader in 3-D profiling equipment solutions.

“The integration of HGG and PEMA solutions is seamless, both mechanically and via our software. With this partnership, both companies can deliver more customer value, while strengthening our combined market presence and client network.”
